Chapter 4: The Vanishing Corpse (Part II)
"Don't worry, we're all here, just scream and get up." Wang Xingguo saw through Mr. Min's thoughts, which made Mr. Min a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Min, how can you be interested in dead man walking?" Chen Badai asked.
"People are always curious." Mr. Min did not want to answer this question head-on.
"What does this dead man's walking have to do with the Loulan you said?" Chen Badai remembered the Loulan that Mr. Min mentioned in the monkey jumping off the cliff.
"I don't know, so I wanted to come and see." Mr. Min laughed.
Chen Badai didn't want to delve deeper, so he spread out the moisture-proof mat and prepared to rest.
Several people on the platform in front of the ghost gate, leaning on the stone to find a place to rest, here you can see the corpse placed in the passage of the ghost gate, after the sun goes down, the sky quickly darkens, the ghost gate closed in front of them like a dark passage to the underworld, those crows who were still noisy above their heads just now no longer know when to leave, silently disappeared without a trace. Under the dark blue night, the mountain seems to have been split by a knife and there is a crack in the middle, the black mountain rocks look a little weird against the night, and the surrounding canyons and woods show a dignified atmosphere in the black curtain, there is no "jungle symphony" that should be in other places, it is so quiet that it makes people feel strange, there is not a trace of sound in the air, it seems that the wind is afraid of the power of ghosts, from here to detour, the autumn season is high and cool, and it is night, and the temperature is reduced by this emergency, but Chen Badai feels a burst of sultryThe feeling of dizziness in the jungle came back to him.
Chen Badai felt that he might be a little tired today, so he said to Yi: "Call me later!" He closed his eyes halfway against a stone, and before Wang Xingguo and others could talk, he heard him snore.
"I really envy people who can fall asleep if they want to." Mr. Min said that it may be due to professional reasons, Mr. Min sleeps less and has difficulty falling asleep, although he feels sleepy at this time, but his brain does not reduce the speed according to his own will, he lies on the ground, and wants to talk to Wang Xingguo.
The two chatted for half an hour, and Wang Xingguo saw a mist rise in the canyon, and the mist slowly thickened, as if there was life climbing up the hillside.
"Huh? What is it? Mr. Min felt a little uneasy.
"The legendary miasma." Wang Xingguo said.
"Normally, it shouldn't be cold air sinking and fog coming down from above at night, right?" Mr. Min said.
"Theoretically, yes, but there are places where terrain winds can cause fog to rise from the canyon at night." Wang Xingguo felt that there was nothing strange about this, he had traveled too many places and seen many incredible things.
Mr. Min thought about it, there was no cooling at night, but it was still stuffy, and the fog probe climbed the steps in front of the ghost gate, Mr. Min suddenly asked: "Wang Xingguo, do you feel dizzy?" ”
"Dizzy?"
"It's a feeling that makes people sleepy, makes people feel unrefreshed, as if ...... Well, light anesthetic......" Mr. Min described the indescribable feeling.
"......No," Wang Xingguo said, "is it too tired today?" ”
"Maybe, then I'll rest first." Mr. Min looked at his watch and was surprised to find that the watch did not know when it was moving normally again, but the time was now more than six o'clock in the afternoon......
"We lost time in the haunted forest, and it was normal to come out." Wang Xingguo said, "According to estimates, it is now around half past eight in the evening, and the error will not exceed 15 minutes." ”
"How do you know?"
"Calculate and train." Wang Xingguo smiled.
Although Mr. Min was very curious about this, this should be a special skill that Wang Xingguo learned from the special forces, but sleepiness made it difficult for him to think, he put a small bag under his head, and fell asleep after a while.
Wang Xingguo sat leaning against the stone, looking at the corpse wrapped in white cloth, and wondered, how could this place be so clean? Could it be that the beasts of Coffin Mountain are all environmental enthusiasts and dispose of their corpses cleanly?
Perhaps it was some kind of witchcraft in Mr. Min's mouth that made the dead stand up again and go into the coffin mountain to fill in the sins of their ancestors.
The fog slowly thickened, and after a while, Wang Xingguo could only barely see the vague white in the passage, but the fog seemed to end here, and it did not continue to thicken, Wang Xingguo looked up at the sky, and the stars in the sky just now were gone.
Three hours later, Wang Xingguo changed Chen Badai's vigil and explained a few words, Wang Xingguo was about to supplement his sleep, how could Chen Badai dare to stare at the corpse like Wang Xingguo? It was as if he was looking at flowers in the fog, and after a few minutes he glanced at it, praying in his heart that time would go quickly, and finally three hours passed, and he woke up Mr. Min and went to catch up on sleep.
Mr. Min was sleepy, he was still a little foggy when he was woken up, he saw that the corpse was still well placed there, and the sleepy insects bombarded again, he thought that it should not delay things if he closed his eyes for a while, it was very quiet here, if there was movement, he should be able to hear it, he didn't want to squint, and when he opened his eyes again, it had been almost three hours, Mr. Min laughed at himself that he could finally sleep to death once, stretched, looked along the ghost door, and suddenly his head exploded - the familiar white in the fog was gone!
For a while, Mr. Min was a little flustered, he didn't wake up Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai, he thought maybe the fog was too thick, he got up and ran over, and took a closer look, the place where the body was lying in a white cloth was really empty! A wave of fear came over him, and Mr. Min almost didn't stand still, looking around nervously, as if the body was hiding somewhere beside him.
Wang Xingguo...... Chen Badai...... Corpse...... The body is gone......" After the panic, Mr. Min remembered that he still had a partner, and he hurriedly ran out of the passage and shouted.
"Hmm...... What's missing...... Yes? Chen Badai was still asleep and muttered. Wang Xingguo woke up suddenly, and when he raised his eyes, the body was indeed gone......
"Oops! Ah! Ah! When Chen Badai woke up, he used three "Oops!" in a row. "To express the fear in your heart!
"Packing his things, he didn't go long, no more than two or three hours at most." Wang Xingguo squatted on the ground, shining a flashlight on the floor, and said with certainty, "At this time, you should be able to catch up." ”
"Are you really going to chase it?" Although Mr. Min came to walk for the dead, when the body really "walked", he hesitated.
"You're the boss, you decide." Wang Xingguo stood up and said.
Mr. Min had thought about what to do when he really saw a dead man walking in his mind countless times, but when the body really disappeared, he began to hesitate and be afraid.
Will the mistakes of 20 years ago be repeated? Mr. Min closed his eyes.
Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai are waiting for Mr. Min's decision.
"Let's go and see......" Mr. Min said, suppressing the fear in his heart.
